Parent to Parent of NYS is a statewide organization that helps families connect with other families. The Parent Matching Program is the foundation of Parent to Parent and is used to link parents on a one-to-one basis with Support Parents who have a child with a chronic illness or disability. "Support Parents" are parents of individuals with special needs who have volunteered to speak one-to-one with "new" parents and share their experiences.

Parent to Parent responds to requests from parents of children with disabilities and special health care needs who are looking for resources, services and information. In addition, workshops are offered on several topics, such as:
* Understanding Medicaid Service Coordination
* Record Keeping
* Using a Health Care Notebook
